It is December 19th and we have had quite a few nights in the lower 20s. The fava beans planted outside are still growing and I will gather more tops today when hopefully the temperature gets up in the 50s.

Fava beans are not supposed to live under 26 degrees and I can’t understand why these ones keep growing. They never did before. It’s ok though. I’ll take all the tops I can get!

I will be able to report soon on how the last kitchen experiment is going with hydrophonic sprouts of fava beans. We’ll see if it works better than the last one. There has got to be a way for people to make their own without having to grow a garden!

There there is a will, there’s a way!!

With love,

Aunt Bean
